"Fifth sister, you haven't chosen a flower yet, what are you doing?" Zhuang Qingyan scolded in a low voice.

Zhuang Qingmei came back to her senses, quickly picked up a half-opened pomegranate flower from the tray, and inserted it on her left temple.

Everyone has arrived and the Ziwu silk has been tied. The eldest man, Zhuang Shenmao, took his whole family to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Jiang Changning is an outsider, so there is no need to follow him.

After the villagers have finished worshiping their ancestors, those who want to can go out.

The two gentlemen, the two wives, Mr. Liao, and the engaged Zhuang Qingyu did not go and stayed in the house.

Zhuang Nianjun wanted to go, so he pulled the corner of Liao's clothes and called out sadly: "Mother."

Ms. Liao shook her head slightly. It wasn't that she didn't want to take her daughter out, but that as a virtuous widow, she couldn't go out at will.

Zhuang Nianjun's bright big eyes dimmed.

Jiang Changning looked at it very unbearably, "Old lady, let Jun'er go with you. There are so many of us, and if we can't control a child, we are really useless."

"Grandma, Jun'er has always been well-behaved and obedient. She won't run around. Just let her go out and play with us." Zhuang Zike winked at Jiang Changning with a playful smile.

Jiang Changning turned his face away with a cold expression.

Others also helped to speak, Mrs. Zhuang agreed, and Mrs. Wu did not dare to have any objections.

Ms. Liao glanced at Jiang Changning gratefully and repeatedly told Zhuang Nianjun, "Outside, you must listen to Cousin Ning and don't run around."

"Cousin Ning." Zhuang Nianjun walked to Jiang Changning and called out sweetly.

Jiang Changning touched her head and said, "Good boy, Jun'er."

Outside the gate, the young men were all riding horses. Xiao Wu took Zhuang Qingchan and Zhuang Qingmei in one carriage, while Jiang Changning, Zhuang Qingyan and Zhuang Nianjun took another carriage.

Zhuang Nianjun was very curious, so he lay down by the window and looked out through the gauze.

She was just four years old, and she was at the age when she was curious about things, and she kept saying "Hey, eh" in exclamation.

Jiang Changning watched beside her. When he went to the long street, he saw someone selling candy paintings, "Jun'er, do you want to eat candy paintings?"

Zhuang Nianjun blinked his big eyes and looked at Jiang Changning with a cute expression.

Jiang Changning smiled sweetly, "Xu Fei, ask Uncle Biao to stop the carriage and buy one for Xiao Jun'er to eat."

As he spoke, he scratched the bridge of Zhuang Nianjun's nose with his fingers, making the little girl giggle.

The car stopped, and Shu Fei bought a rabbit candy, "Miss Yun."

"Tutu." Zhuang Nianjun happily took it and took a lick, "It's so sweet."

The carriage passed through the south gate of the capital and headed for the Yudai River.

The dragon boat race is held in the middle section of the Yudai River, where the river is gentle.

There are colorful sheds built by various governments on the river bank, but the banker did not build a colorful shed.

It's not that I don't want to build it, but because of the banker's quality, the place to build the colorful shed is too far away.

Instead of hearing the sound in the shed, it is better to go to a restaurant near the river bank and ask for a private room to have a better view from a distance.

It's just that the bookmaker booked the room too late and couldn't book the best room on the third floor. He only booked a slightly remote room on the second floor.

Of course, if Jiang Changning needs it, the free room on the third floor with the best location will always be hers, but Jiang Changning will not let the Zhuang family know that she owns this restaurant.

Jiang Changning led Zhuang Nianjun into the store. The candy rabbit held in Zhuang Nianjun's other hand was only the body of the rabbit, and the head of the rabbit had been licked off by her.

Everyone in the Zhuang Mansion entered the private room, opened the windows, and could see the Yudai River not far away.

There was not a single dragon boat on the calm river, but the flags were flying and the Imperial Army was already setting up defenses.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor would bring the queen, princes and ministers to watch and put the finishing touch on the dragon boat.

Zhuang Jiwu, the second young master of the banker, did not sit for a long time, but took little Wu out for a walk.

Xiao Wu is Wu's concubine's niece. Wu lets her concubine marry her natal niece, obviously to use her niece to control her concubine.

But the relationship between the young couple is good. If Xiao Wu is not already in love with Zhuang Jiwu, then Zhuang Jiwu is pretending to be in love.

No matter what the situation between the two of them is, it has nothing to do with Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was taking care of Zhuang Nianjun. Zhuang Nianjun kept her mother's words in mind and followed Jiang Changning. She didn't even want the nanny who came out with her.

Zhuang Jideng and Zhuang Jike sat impatiently in the room, "Jichang, Jisheng, you two stay here."

The two of them also left to find the classmates they had made appointments with.

Zhuang Qingyan's face was gloomy, and she felt very unhappy that her brother had left like this.

Zhuang Qingchan and Zhuang Qingmei both looked out the window, seemingly not caring about their departure.

Jiang Changning sneered. Zhuang Jike said in front of Mrs. Zhuang that he would take care of Zhuang Nianjun.

But now?

Just paying lip service, it's really irresponsible.

Such a man is not worthy of a woman's lifelong trust. No matter how blind she is or how desperate she is, she will not look down on him.

Zhuang Nianjun finished eating the candy rabbit, Jiang Changning poured a glass of water for her to drink, "Come on, Jun'er, you just ate candy, rinse your mouth."

Zhuang Nianjun held the cup obediently and rinsed his mouth.

At this time, the noise outside became louder. Jiang Changning picked up Zhuang Nianyun and stood on the chair by the window.

There was already a dragon boat on the river. From their angle, they could only see the tail of the dragon boat.

A bright yellow canopy also appeared among the crowd, the emperor has arrived, and the dragon boat race is about to officially begin.

The gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are blasting.

People on the shore shouted excitedly: "Let's go, that red dragon boat is rowing so fast."

They could not see the situation on the river, and could only feel the fierce competition from the shouts of the onlookers.

"The golden dragon boat has caught up."

"The white dragon boat that was following the red dragon boat just now fell to the end."

In the shouts of the spectators, the golden dragon boat won the championship.

The dragon boat race was over, the princes and ministers respectfully sent the emperor and empress back to the palace, and half of the imperial army withdrew.

The spectators did not leave, and there was a duck-grabbing contest.

It is like a sailor going into the water to catch a duck. The duck is floating in the water and people are chasing it. The funny look will make the onlookers laugh endlessly.

But Jiang Changning and the others were sitting upstairs and couldn't see anything.

"Let's go for a walk too." Zhuang Qingmei couldn't sit still either.

How could I be trapped in this restaurant after finally going out?

The others had no objections. Jiang Changning took Zhuang Nianjun's hand and walked out with everyone.

As soon as she went out, several strong men in the store followed her.

Judging by the way they walk, you can tell that they are all martial arts practitioners.

The river street was crowded with people, and everyone moved forward with the flow of people.

Those middle-aged men kept following him, stepping forward from time to time to separate those who were approaching Jiang Changning.

Knowing that Jiang Changning was coming to watch the dragon boat race, the loyal servants of the Jiang family arranged manpower and vowed to protect their master.

When girls see a stall they like, they will stand and take a look.

Although girls like different things from boys, Zhuang Jichang and Zhuang Jisheng always stayed with their sisters even if they were not interested.

Although the two of them are not valued by the banker, they act much more safely than the two direct brothers and have a stronger sense of responsibility than them.
